Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:
• Be sure to power on your computer and switch in the following sequence:
1. Turn on the switch and wait two minutes.
2. Turn on the computer and connect it to the switch.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in. For each powered-on
computer or device connected to the switch, the corresponding switch
Ethernet port status LED is lit.
• Make sure that the network settings for the computer or device are
correct. You might need to temporarily turn o the antivirus program,
firewall, or both on the computer so that the utility can discover the switch.
• To use the Smart Control Center Utility, you must configure your
computer’s security soware to allow broadcast UDP packets to go through
to the destination IP address of 255.255.255.255. The Smart Control
Center Utility uses UDP source and destination ports 63323 and 63324.
